I've been covering Black Friday deals for TechRadar for nearly five years now, so I know where to look for the best MacBook Pro deals right now, not just on the big day itself. Until Black Friday, I'll be scouring the web to find the latest and best savings on the latest MacBook Pro models, as well as hidden gems from earlier generations, and bringing them right here to this page to make finding your next MacBook Pro easier than ever. And, as a MacBook Pro user myself, I'll be providing insight and advice to help you narrow down your search so you get the most value for your money.

Black Friday MacBook Pro deals: FAQ

When will the Black Friday MacBook Pro deals start?

While Black Friday isn't until November 29th this year, you can still find savings that could be as good as you'd find on the big day itself, as early Black Friday MacBook Pro deals are starting now.

This is often a great way to score a deal since it lets you get a new MacBook Pro at a great price well ahead of the holiday rush, so you can do some holiday shopping early.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy a MacBook Pro?

Black Friday is generally the best time to buy a new MacBook Pro. A recent report from Adobe Analytics shows that computer prices are about 24% cheaper during last year's peak Black Friday sales.

That doesn't mean that you can't get a good deal before then, but this is generally the kind of target discount you might want to look for if you do any pre-Black Friday shopping. If you see a discount in this ballpark, you shouldn't worry that you'll be missing out on bigger discounts later on.

Which MacBook Pro should I buy this Black Friday?

The specific model of MacBook Pro you buy this Black Friday will depend entirely on what kind of MacBook you need.

For those who want some extra performance than they'd get with a MacBook Air, the 13-inch MacBook Pro (M2, 2022) and the 14-inch MacBook Pro (M3) are both great MacBook Pro models that will give you an entry-level Pro experience at a much more accessible price point.

For those who need more performance than the entry-level models can provide, the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with M2 Pro and M3 Pro ships are a good middle ground between high-end performance and mainstream pricing.

For those who want the very best performance, the M2 Max and M3 Max chips are what you'll be looking for, in either the 14-inch or 16-inch form factors. These MacBook Pro models can get some very big discounts on Black Friday (or earlier), but they are also very expensive to start with, so you'll still end up paying quite a bit for these MacBook Pro models, even with great discounts.

Of course, all of these points equally apply to the new M4 MacBook Pro models, though whether we'll see that many great discounts on these latest models remains to be seen, though definitely keep an eye out for them if what you're really looking for is tools and utilities that leverage AI, like Apple Intelligence or similar.
